Lady LUX

For Fall 2010, leopard is all the rage and expressing your inner courturious feline is in! Print placement or accessory type is not of importance this season as it’s adorning everything from outerwear to intimates, and everything in between. All that matters in this season’s trend is you finding your perfect animal inspired style statement and wearing it with confidence!

For inspiration, we look to designers such as Emanuel Ungaro, Roberto Cavalli and Hermès who took a walk on the wild side during their Fall/Winter 2010 collections, showcasing the fierce leopard print in many of their pieces. Ungaro featured ascending leopard spots on silk jackets and flowing satin tops, while Cavalli mixed and matched different patterns with multi-colored leopard prints for daring, bold looks. And Hermès, fitted his models in layered coats with peek-a-boo leopard embellishments and fur trim.

We at LadyLUX love the versatility leopard brings this season. Not only can you wear it on any type of clothing, shoe or accessory, but in an array of colors as well. With just a hint of the spotted print, you can completely transform an outfit. And, your attitude may get a little fierce too!

Below are some of our Leopard Obsessions from around the web by designers we adore—from belts to rain boots, we’ve got you covered. We hope you enjoy this diminutive or daring trend just as much as we do here at LadyLUX!
